mr nothing in a fever

Schwärmerei ist Krankheit der Seele, eigentliches Seelenfieber;

C. M. Wieland, Schwärmerei und Enthusiasmus

at cockcrow mr nothing passed a man
with a dog as dark as the night though
the beast was enormous and the owner
was lame he went on to a place called
nor there

perhaps the stroller is a soul whereas
the hound is just a brute as mr nothing
badly sought to raise his spirits hence
there’s a why in that disjuncture a call
to be ‘fraid

but then he saw a swarm as such one’s
darkest cloud on the horizon and asked
if there’s the one so he could somehow
grasp that mind the only response was
the buzz
